Thanks for posting that. A very unusual find.

Of course, as those of us who attended a selection of live Shads concerts will recall, they nearly always featured a vocal cover that hadn't featured on any of their own recordings and this sounds typical of that sort of thing. I assume this was recorded by a fan out in the audience using a portable recorder of some sort. One or two such tracks were subsequently recorded on their "Live at Abbey Road" album, Del Shannon's "Runaway" for example.

Well that certainly was something different for The Shadows and get the piano playing
I wonder if it was one of them playing it.

Good morning all,
I seem to recall from the Shadows '80s tours of NZ, that they did 'Always On My Mind, along with 'You Won't See Me' and I think
'All By Myself' - the Eric Carmen song.
Cheers,
JB

And how about a great version of "Peter Gunn", performed during the Autumn 1981 tour?
